Common Water & Energy Fluxes Interception Un- saturated Zone Two more representations of these fluxes. I would have colored the flux arrows in the l.h. diagram the opposite (blue for water; red for energy).

Activity-Monthly Ameriflux Energy Fluxes VC, NM – Pine Forest KP, KS - Prairie Met, OR – Pine Forest WB, TN– Deciduous Forest Man, Can– Pine Forest LBA, BR– Logged Tropical Forest Take some time to have the students speculate as to what is responsible for the seasonal and monthly trends in this data. Note: all scales have been fixed. Questions you might ask: Are deviations in Rn real or due to bad data? What patterns do you see? What controls the partitioning of H and LE? What causes changes to magnitude and timing of fluxes? Explain the evolution of fluxes with time. What other ecosystems might be interesting to explore using these diagrams and what would you expect?
